I see that for some it'd be difficult, but for most it's possible.
The key point here is that they are no longer available for Everton to sell this season as most if not all are in a season long loan deal. That, in a month when we know we have to sell to buy, means the January window can only be used by selling a player we still need, like Gueye.
The whole episode underlies one thing for me: Brands has not sat down and thought through his industrial scale loan system.
You've no idea18 players....18 players could be wanted by all those clubs but our DoF couldn't persuade 1, 2, or even 3 players and their loaning clubs to make it permanent.
I'm honestly just amazed we sold Klaassen (although he had to sell him half price to get the sale) and Mori.
Is it really as many as 18 on loan... Niasse. Mirallas. Sandro. Besic. Vlasic. Onyekuru. Williams. Martina. Pennington. Connolly. Robinson. Garbutt. Holgate. Dowell.
Who have I missed?
Joe Hilton, keeper is out on loan at Marine, you've missed out Bolasie ( probably on purpose lol) so add them 2 it's 16 in total and I can't see anyone else we've missed

Joe or Ashley Williams, whichever 1 you didn't list.
And Lavery
I get that but they’re off the wage bill.Brands has a question to answer. His decision to place 17 players out on loan, and therefore out of the reach of him being able to sell them to generate money for this month's window, was a massive error of judgement. It's effectively sidelined us in the transfer market and means that only the sale of a much needed player like Gueye, for example, can provide him with the cash to reinvest in January.

He's a wan- ker too for sureCan you imagine shagging him? She wouldn’t even get his trousers off before he started telling her that she was terrible and doing it wrong and she is already a failure. Nobody can give dave pleasure better than dave
Jags and Baines also on the books on good wages
If what Silva said earlier is true it will be a total injustice if a striker is not brought in this window.
Every man and his dog can see it , teams are exploiting it and we are going into games handicapped every week.
Its no good waiting till the summer if we are knocked out the cup early & end up the wrong end of the league.
If you think its hard now bringing players in wait till summer and our better ( the few we have) players want to jump ship.
This could end up worse than Koemans second season
